I am so proud of all of the intervenors that were able to show up and at a considerable cost to their own livelihoods! I carry such grief and remorse that I could not be one of such! I am having one heck of a time with coronary artery spasms, and as such could not attend! This serves as a great stess to my spirit and to what I hold so dear.....and that is the rights of this Great Nation for Freedom! Private Property is the fountain head of all of our freedoms!
What? I am a huge land owner? No!!!!!!!! I only own less than an acre of land, but the National Park Service and the WV Department of Highways is trying to take my land and what I have lived for all of my life, because " I pollute a view shed"!!! So help me God!
I am poor! I have no income other than my husbands salary, and it is a living from paycheck to paycheck....and that is once a week, and is so poor based on the national average!
I am a Registered Nurse, but find myself no longer able to work due to stress...yes, because I have been in this fight for over 3 years, and it has worn me down! I am only 42, and have recently gotten out of the hospital with specified heart attacks and told to avoid all stress!!! Well that is so much easier said than done! I suffer from Coronary Artery Spasms, and unfortunately, I am one of 4 out of 100,000! And nobody knows what causes these attacks for sure! I have one reason! Stress, and the stress of losing one's home and way of life will do this to anyone, especially for this prolonged period of time!
Therefore, we must all stand together and stop the madness that seems to be prevailing all across this great Nation!
I support your efforts and I praise you for what you did by posting this message to those that care! You go! Sincerely,
Sheila Davis
